Young individuals are the future of society, as they will once be adults filling important shoes in society. Majority of individuals have the belief of going to school, working towards their passion for a successful career. The education we receive at an early age plays an important role in our perception regarding the world. I agree that there are a small number of educational aspects from other countries that could benefit the Canadian educational system. Though Canada currently has one of the best educational systems in the world, comparatively to Japan, the USA and India, Canada can still improve in terms of lowering student loan rates and developing after school programs for students. Before we can understand how Canada can improve its …show more content…

We must understand that the Japanese educational system is different when compared with the Canadian educational system. According to an article by Business Insider (2014) “In junior high and high school in Japan, almost every student joins an after school club or team” (para 9). In Canada, it’s hard to find many junior high and high schools that encourage students to join an after school club or team. We must understand that when individuals get involved in an activity they can reduce their stress and also develop new relationships which can make a student’s life a lot easier.

The US currently has some of the best high schools and universities in the world. According to an article by a website know to me as Masters portal (Vioreanu, 2017) “Approximately, fifty percent of the world’s top 50 universities are located in the U.S., due to small class sizes, highly accredited professors, and advanced technology and research capabilities” (para 2). Unfortunately, Canada’s most prestigious university, the University of Toronto is only ranked 31st among the top educational institutes in the world. Canada. If Canada’s education system makes an effort and focuses on making smaller size classrooms, bringing in accredited professors and investing in research, than Canada will soon have some of the top universities in the

    Many Canadians hold strong opinions on the issues of education, and they influence where they attend school, as well as their political beliefs. Although Canadians criticize education, most of them tend to participate in government regulated formal education, through public schooling. Education has transformed from a place to learn the basic skills needed for survival, to teaching how to become a skilled worker, and finally on how to become a ethical, well-versed member of society and as new technology and information is introduced into our society the needs of education are constantly changing. The only question is: can education keep

    1254 Words  | 3 Pages

    For generations prior to the European arrival, aboriginal people practiced a strict culture in their native land now known as Canada. However, the early settlers conveyed the notion that their lifestyle was upon the highest accomplishment of mankind. Aboriginal people were seen as savages and incompetent of surviving in modern society. In resolution, the Canadian government issued an aggressive school system in the 1880’s that would “culture” the Aboriginal children. This system was managed by churches, whose purpose was to educate the child by adapting them into the mainstream Canadian society. This nonetheless, became a very serious issue that questioned Canada’s democracy and the basic civil rights that came along with it. In addition, this destructive system left a long range of impacts. Residential schools undermined Aboriginal culture causing a profound displacement of aboriginal people even to this day.

    Margaret Mead said, “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” In our society we value education over everything else. If one has a high education, then they will be able to make a better living for themselves. No school system is alike, some are better than others. The American education system used to be known as one of the leaders in education, having the highest graduation rate, and being innovative when it came to teaching styles. Now, it seems that it’s changing and other countries have taken it’s places as the best. This makes sense since the statistics show that most American students are losing to foreign countries. According to Paul Zoch in Doomed to Fail, Japan’s high school graduation was 90% whereas, the United

  • Explain How I Sacrifice My Life For Canada

    Lack of education will lead to destruction, so I see it as my duty to save Canada’s future by making sure each child has the right to education. I would die for the betterment of education because education is the first step to gaining knowledge about the world. Most countries do not have the privilege to have teachers, desks and proper maintenance to educate the future generation. Women in different countries are often discriminated against as they live in a place where education is not valued for girls. Women can bring positive change into this world and can help other girls struggling with the bias of women not allowed to go to school or something along those lines. To pursue education everyone must have the right and sacrifices need to be made. Sacrificing your life for education is essential because the future is dependent on the next

    The article titled One Foot in Front of the Other was about the Women’s March on Washington and the reasons why the marchers were there. The event occurred because the people participating in the march were afraid that President Donald Trump will take away the civil rights and reproductive system rights the women have now. At the march, there wasn’t only women but also men who supported the marchers as well as other minority groups like the LGBTQ. The authors wrote about how the environment at the march was very nonconfrontational because everyone there was in that place for the same reason. The women and men were speaking to each other on how women have the right to choose on what to do with their own bodies.

  • The Education System

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and reasons have been made me agree with some of points from Gatto’s and Edmunson’s and disagree them.

  • Canadian International Education

    1742 Words  | 4 Pages

    Over the past 15 years or so, Canadian higher education institutions have undertaken international initiatives related to student and faculty mobility, international research partnerships, and the internationalisation of curricula. In fact, most Canadian universities and colleges view internationalisation as a top priority; as a result, they now include internationalisation as a key objective in their institutional strategic plans and have made internationalisation one of their top five priorities (AUCC, 2014). This process of change aims to give students a global perspective and prepare them for a world with a globalised economy. They are able to make full use of quality educational resources from abroad through different perspectives, promote international exchange and cooperation in higher education in all aspects, and continue to develop and grow the strength of higher education in their own countries.

    Two-thirds of children who participate in extracurricular activities are expected to attain at least a bachelor’s degree, whereas only half of children that do not participate do (National Center for Education Statistics, 1995). Childhood is a very important time in our lives, a time when we develop many vital skills that follow us into adulthood. Some people laugh or scoff at us parents that keep our children to busy schedules. Those same people would also argue that our children should be allowed to have a childhood, to not be so tightly scheduled in their daily lives. Before jumping on that bandwagon, I would suggest doing a little research. Participating in after-school activities has shown to benefit children in many ways. Children should
